Everything I needed to know about tech, I learned from The Rings of Power

Leon Adato, a developer relations advocate at New Relic, finds parallels between the tech industry and Amazon's "The Rings of Power" series, particularly highlighting lessons on pacing, mentorship, and foresight. He draws comparisons between the slow narrative buildup of the series and the gradual journey of an IT career, emphasizing the importance of understanding one's role within a larger story. Adato also warns against the pitfalls of being overly farsighted, using a quote from the series to illustrate the danger of losing touch with the present. Additionally, he underscores the importance of believing in and learning from women, as depicted by the series' strong female characters. Adato concludes with an invitation to further discussions on tech and culture, cautioning that his insights are personal and not representative of New Relic's official stance.
